People living on a street in Merseyside said their lives are being made "a misery" by constant fly-tipping behind their homes.
The entry behind Gaskell Street in St Helens has become known as a problem area for fly-tipping. In February of last year the ECHO reported how residents had started to fear rats invading their homes after the alleyway was filled with waste, including a toilet.
One person said: "[The] house boundaries have become tracks for rats, and it won't be before long before they're in the house."
